A highly versatile technique whereby the user converts part of their body into wooden branches, which can then be made to grow at astounding speeds and with such force, that they can pierce a person's body with ease. Used predominantly in close-ranged combat,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 605, pages 7-8</ref> these branches can also be made to exponentially multiply, even when inside a victim. Due to these properties, the technique can be used to fashion short-range weapons akin to a makeshift ''sword'',<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 605, pages 9-10</ref> or else vaulted towards opponents as long-range projectiles, where the branches growth can be triggered remotely by performing the [[Hand Seals#Basic Hand Seals|ram seal]], skewering the enemy.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 605, pages 12-15</ref> It can also apparently be used on an even larger scale, creating giant branches that can be made to envelop and then crush an opponent between them.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 605, page 17</ref>

Cutting, also called striking or cloning, is a method of plant propagation. It involves cutting off a piece of a plant, usually the stem or root, which is then put in an appropriate medium. If done properly, the cut piece will grow into a new plant, genetically identical to the plant it was cut from.
